quote TahoeBlue:"I agree with you E. There have been several documented accounts of forest service people setting fires for whatever "unknown" motivations (orders ? job promotions ? spite? ). But also homeless and illegals set fires from having camp fires during high winds or just leaving them . Also these fires are not just in California , they are occurring all over the west . And yes these are areas that have been getting the aluminum con/chemtrails ( I've seen them over Lake Tahoe and all over the west) . So are these chemicals on the trees acting as an accelerant ?

And right they are re seeding vast areas of the west with WHAT? So Monsanto gets billions directly from the federal trough with govt. contracts ."

St. Augustine: “The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself."

There have been several documented accounts of forest service people setting fires for whatever "unknown" motivations (orders ? job promotions ? spite? ).

No mystery. There's a HUGE profit motive to get the fires going during fire season. I've seen a local fire rake in over 1 million/day. Those state/federal coffers open up and everybody wants a piece of it. Some temporary positions in forestry can earn $50 or $60/hr. Right off the street. Check out “PR officer”. Big money.

I've seen locals scrambling to offer their ATVs, trucks, boats for “rent” by forestry. It's easy money. No need to lift a finger. And they brag about earning enough during the season to buy an all-new vehicle.

I've spoken to forestry guys specifically trained in forensics to track down the origin and cause of wildfires. Courtesy of DHS. With that kind of knowledge, how easy would it be to start a fire due to “natural” causes.

I've seen a forestry official gleefully “predicting” that it was going to be a loooooong, dry, hot summer with a big grin on his face. All those equipment people just short of high-fiving the guy. Knowing smiles and winks all round.

Local business, restaurants, hotels aren't going to complain about the boom of business thrown their way by deployed firefighters. The closer a fire is to residential areas, the more resources and money forestry will throw at it. So the annual California shuffle is no surprise really.

Everybody squealing like a pig looking frantically to attach themselves to that big government teat. All quite pathetic. Reminds me of the annual "black friday" trampling spectacle in the fall.

The only thing that stops it all dead cold is....rain. High humidity. Winter.

They kaint, always get, wut they wa...ant....

The number one cause of all human poverty, misery, and death is not global warming. It’s GLOBAL LYING.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A wildfire on the northern edge of Los Angeles rapidly grew on Saturday into what the mayor called the largest blaze in the city's history, prompting the evacuation of hundreds of people and the closure of a major highway.

The 5,000-acre (2,023-hectare) La Tuna Fire, named after the canyon area where it erupted on Friday, has led authorities to evacuate more than 700 homes in a north Los Angeles neighborhood and in nearby Burbank and Glendale, officials said.

Authorities warned of erratic winds that could force them to widen the evacuation zone, after the fire destroyed three houses in Los Angeles on Saturday.

"Other than that, no loss of any property," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said at a news conference. "That is a pretty amazing thing."

The fire was only 10 percent contained with more than 500 firefighters battling it....

Video posted online by media showed the fire burning along the 210 Freeway when it broke out on Friday, with smoke hovering over the roadway as cars passed by flames a few dozen feet away. Officials quickly closed a stretch of the freeway.More than 400 miles (644 km) to the north, the so-called Ponderosa Fire has burned 3,880 acres, or about 1,570 hectares, and destroyed 32 homes in Butte County since it broke out on Tuesday. It prompted authorities to issue evacuation orders earlier this week to residents of some 500 homes....

California Governor Jerry Brown issued an emergency declaration on Friday to free up additional resources to battle the Ponderosa blaze.Wildfires in the U.S. West have burned more than 7.1 million acres (2.9 million hectares) since the beginning of the year, about 50 percent more than during the same time period in 2016, according to the National Interagency Fire Center....

I'm choking from the smoke and using InfoWars Lung Cleanse. It really helps.We filter our air using a commercial grade ozone maker. It takes the smoke out of a room.I would like to get the air purifier on the InfoWars site. That would probably work really well.We don't go outside.We are drinking extra water.We bathe more than the usual because the smoke is grimy.

They're having a conference soon, September 12. Must be nice to for our US Forest Service make a trip to Sweden. I guess they work globally to burn up the forests and replace them with gmo'd aluminum resistant seedlings. The website below is all about genetics among much more.

I don't like paying taxes that go to huge operations such as these. What part of "US" in Forestry is not understood? It seems they took over our US Forestry Department. Pretty plain they way they act gestapo-ish when you try to go into them.

The conference will focus on the following main topics: Learning from the past for the future, stress tolerant plant materials, and designing and establishing resistant /resilient forest landscapes. Thus, the scope of the conference will cover a broad array of relevant research, promoting cross- and inter-disciplinary. All main topics will have clear bearings for the practical forest restoration, which will invite to science-society interactions.

Wish I knew more about weather control. It does take particulate to make raindrops.

We are in the "Heavy" smoke area. It's bad when lungs hurt and eyes are stinging from smoke. So, we are trying to figure out how to leave & where to go. Plus, these goldfish that used to be in the pond need to be fed.

At any rate, if we drop off in forum participation for a while, this is why. I think we'll go mobile with camping.

Snow fell in Sierra Nevada on the last day of summer, giving the towering mountain range shared by California and Nevada a wintry look in September and making travel hazardous.

Sixteen vehicles crashed on Interstate 80 as snow and hail fell Thursday, killing a man driving a pickup truck and causing minor injuries to a few other people, said California Highway Patrol Officer Chris Nave.

Snow dusted peaks in Yosemite National Park and temporarily closed Tioga Pass road, the soaring eastern entry to the park that typically doesn’t become impassable until mid-November.

Several inches of snow were expected at elevations of at least 6,000 feet in the northern Sierra, said National Weather Service forecaster Hannah Chandler in Sacramento....

The fires broke out nearly simultaneously and then exploded overnight, sending residents fleeing as embers rained down and flames raged around them. Two hospitals in Santa Rosa, the largest city in the region with 175,000 people, were forced to evacuate patients....

October has generally been the most destructive time of year for California wildfires. What was unusual Sunday, however, was to have so many fires take off at the same time.

Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in Napa, Sonoma, Butte, Lake, Mendocino, Nevada and Yuba counties. Authorities imposed a sunset-to-sunrise curfew in Santa Rosa, saying they were on the lookout for looters.

The ferocity of the flames forced authorities to focus primarily on getting people out safely, even if it meant abandoning structures to the fire.

Elsewhere in the state, a fire churning through canyons in hilly neighborhoods of Orange County burned at least half a dozen homes and forced residents of about 1,000 homes to evacuate. Brown also declared a state of emergency for Orange County.

Southern California authorities say a 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of starting several recent wildfires, including one that injured a firefighter.Aug. 7, 2017

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — Southern California authorities say a 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of starting several recent wildfires, including one that injured a firefighter.

San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos said Monday that Jarrod Anthony Samra faces eight counts of arson for eight different blazes.... Investigators say evidence was found at each scene that connected Samra to the fires, which started along roads and at similar times of day.

Kenneth Alan Jackson, 40, and Allison Marie Waterman, 46, were booked into the Madera County Jail on arson charges.

Cal Fire officials said Jackson is being charged with 31 counts of arson, resisting arrest, and attempted battery on a peace officer. Waterman was booked on a single charge of arson.

"The Yosemite Lakes Park community has been threatened by countless wildfires over the past several months that we believe were a result of arson," said Chief Nancy Koerperich, CAL FIRE Unit Chief for the Madera-Mariposa-Merced Unit. "We appreciate the community's support and assistance as we worked to track down these suspects."

Arson Suspect ArrestedMadera - After a rash of suspicious fires, CAL FIRE law enforcement officers Tuesday night arrested a Yosemite Lakes Park couple on suspicion of dozens of arson fires. Kenneth Alan Jackson, 40 and Allison Marie Waterman, 46, both of Coarsegold, were booked into the Madera County Jail for arson. Jackson is being charged with 31 counts of arson, resisting arrest, as well as attempted battery on a peace officer. Waterman was booked on a single charge of arson.

�The Yosemite Lakes Park community has been threatened by countless wildfires over the past several months that we believe were a result of arson,� said Chief Nancy Koerperich, CAL FIRE Unit Chief for the Madera-Mariposa-Merced Unit. �We appreciate the community�s support and assistance as we worked to track down these suspects.�

CAL FIRE law enforcement officers work diligently in arson cases to aggressively investigate and prosecute those suspected of intentionally starting fires. Numerous agencies assisted in the investigation and arrest including the Madera County Sheriff�s Department, Madera County District Attorney�s Office and the Yosemite Lakes Park security staff.

As fire danger remains extreme across California, arson is a major threat to both life and property. Residents should be vigilant in their preparedness and aware of suspicious persons when a fire does start. If you witness someone suspicious make note of the time, his or her physical description, as well as any vehicle description, including the license plate number. Always contact law enforcement, never approach a suspicious person. Anyone with information about arson is urged to contact the CAL FIRE Arson Hotline at 1-800-468-4408. Callers can remain anonymous.

County officials arrested a 40-year-old Clear Lake man Monday on 17 counts of arson related to numerous fires set over the last year, including the 4,000-acre Clayton Fire that has so far claimed 175 buildings and displaced hundreds of people.

Lake County Sheriff Brian Martin and Cal Fire Chief Ken Pimlott announced the arrest of Damin Pashilk at a community meeting packed with evacuees at a casino doubling as a Red Cross shelter south of the blaze. Residents gasped at the announcement....Chief Pimlott said Mr. Pashilk had been under investigation for about a year. The charges were enhanced because homes and businesses were destroyed. He has been arrested at least a dozen times before mostly for parole violations, but also on drug and weapons charges....

Across California there are hundreds illegal aliens and "homeless" living in the woods starting unsafe campfires ... in santa ana like winds (plus illegal marijuana grows ) ... hmmm ... This has caused a majority of wildfires in california for decades now ... But there are also people called pyromaniacs that go off when the conditions are ripe and they closed the insane asylums years ago ...

Plus on top of all this is California is home to satanists that love to murder people ... if they can get away with it .

The arrest of a 29-year-old Latino man this weekend on suspicion of starting a small fire in California’s scorched wine country ignited a firestorm of its own on right-wing media sites whose articles linked him – without evidence – to the catastrophic fires that have killed at least 28 people in the area.

Sonoma County Sheriff Rob Giordano forcefully shot down the allegations at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

“There is a story out there that he’s the arsonist in these fires,” Giordano said. “That’s not the case. There’s no indication he’s related to these fires at all. ... I wanted to kill that speculation right now, so we didn’t have things running too far out of control.”...

Gonzales was arrested at Maxwell Farms Regional Park in Sonoma on Sunday afternoon after he was seen leaving a creek bed with a plume of smoke rising behind him, Giordano said.

The fire was so small a responding sheriff’s deputy was able to mostly put it out before firefighters arrived, according to the Press Democrat. Gonzales, who was reportedly wearing a trench coat, was carrying a lighter and fire extinguisher, Giordano said.

Gonzales often sleeps in the park and is well-known to law enforcement, Giordano said.

“They asked him if he started the fire, and he said he started the fire to warm himself up,” Giordano said.

....comments:

Curtis GomesI personally find it difficult that this one person could have set these devastating fires. I am ex law enforcement and have investigated arson fires. Extremely difficult to prove for sure. However, the real problem is California politics driving law enforcement policy pitting one agency against another.a leftist ploy to gain control ove all sectors...... Here's the real truth in this situation and this "Sanctuary" status that is forced on various Sheriff's departments:

WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Tom Homan confirmed on Thursday that a man arrested in connection with setting a fire in Sonoma County Wine Country is an illegal alien from Mexico who has been twice returned to his “home country.”

Homan also confirmed that ICE has issued detainer requests for Jesus Fabian Gonzalez five times now in the past year alone, including the one issued on October 16 in relation to his most recent arrest on suspicion of arson. All of the arrests were made “by Sonoma County on various felony and misdemeanor charges,” according to Homan.

Sonoma County is considered a sanctuary jurisdiction and does not fully cooperate with federal immigration officials. That includes not honoring ICE detainer requests. “ICE was never notified of Mr. Gonzalez’ various releases,” Homan wrote in the statement regarding Gonzalez.

There were several fires in the region, and it is not clear what role the fires Gonzales allegedly set played in the overall disaster.

Investigators Are Hot on the Trail of a Palm Tree PyromaniacMarch 25, 1990 | MICHAEL CONNELLY, TIMES STAFF WRITER

Pyromaniac Found Sane in Murder, Arson CaseJanuary 30, 2002A jury found Tuesday that a pyromaniac was sane when he set a drunken man on fire in 1997. Jose Manuel Carranza, 22, of Sylmar faces 30 years to life for first-degree murder and arson. He killed Luciano Olmeda, 45, on May 18, 1997. If found insane, he could have been sent to a mental hospital, possibly for life.

Fire Official's Arrest Stuns ColleaguesDecember 6, 1991 | PHIL SNEIDERMAN and DEAN E. MURPHY, TIMES STAFF WRITERSSuspected arsonist John L. Orr was regarded as a mentor and sage by many of his firefighting colleagues, a veteran arson investigator called upon by fire officials across Southern California who were stumped by a tough case. The Glendale fire captain taught seminars, wrote articles for trade publications and helped develop educational classes for statewide conferences of arson investigators. "He has a lot more experience than most of us in the area," said Burbank Fire Capt. Steve Patterson.

I'm beginning to see a trend here .. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventura_County,_California...For many years, Ventura County voted consistently for Republican candidates for local, statewide and federal offices. Only recently has the county begun favoring Democratic candidates in both federal and state elections. ...For the previous twenty five years, most of Ventura County was represented by Elton Gallegly, a conservative Republican from Simi Valley, who retired in 2012....On March 3, 2008, Democratic registration surpassed Republican registration and this Democratic edge has grown since.

A masive wildfire that erupted overnight and burned over 30,000 acres has forced 27,000 people in Ventura County to evacuate their homes as 150 structures were destroyed, according to reports from local news and wire services.

...

The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday: “Hundreds of firefighters working through the night tried to prevent the blaze from spreading, block by block, as they were confronted by wind gusts of up to 50 mph. One firefighter was injured, though it’s unclear how.”

The Associated Press noted:

The blaze broke out Monday and grew wildly to more than 48 square miles (124 sq. kilometers) in the hours that followed, consuming vegetation that hasn’t burned in decades, Ventura County Fire Sgt. Eric Buschow said.

…

“The fire growth is just absolutely exponential,” Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen said. “All that firefighters can do when we have winds like this is get out ahead, evacuate people, and protect structures.”

The fire is being called the Thomas fire. Photographs on social media show a dramatic, destructive blaze:

Throughout the Southern California communities overlooking the beachfront city of Ventura,residents were caught off guard late Monday when the hillsides exploded in flames.

The wind-driven Thomas fire tore through communities in the middle of the night, leaving rows of homes and a psychiatric hospital in ruins Tuesday and sending tens of thousands of people fleeing for their lives.

California Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency for Ventura County Tuesday afternoon saying the fire is very dangerous and residents must be ready to evacuate if told to do so.

ISLA VISTA, Calif. - The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office is investigating illegal fireworks and acts of arson during the power outages in Isla Vista Monday night.

It happened around 10 p.m. near Del Playa Drive between Camino Pescadero and Camino Del Sur.

An unknown number of people started setting off illegal fireworks. The Sheriff's Office says mortar style fireworks were set off over the ocean and Del Playa Drive while cinder cone fireworks were being set off at intersections of residential areas. This attracted thousands of people to the fireworks display.

The same people who set off the fireworks then started to set two couches, a chair and a dumpster on fire....Deputies would like to remind the public that first responders have been extremely busy because of the Thomas Fire.

If Moon Beam and his predecessors has kept the underbrush cleaned out rather than protecting obscure extinct creatures like the snaill darter, we would not have this mess.

On 12/4/17, a fast moving active brush fire that started North of Santa Paula along Highway 150 and Bridge Road was pushed by strong east winds through the City of Ventura. There are more than 4,000 firefighters, and fire departments from multiple states involved plus cooperating agencies and community partners. The fire is currently estimated at 230,200 acres.

More than a week after the Thomas fire ignited in Ventura County, destroying hundreds of homes and displacing thousands as it grew into a massive inferno, firefighters are now in a race to protect the pristine coastal communities of neighboring Santa Barbara County before a shift in powerful winds forecast for this weekend.

Across the mountain ridges above Santa Barbara, Summerland and Montecito, firefighters Wednesday were building containment lines, clearing brush, digging breaks and setting small backfires to burn fuel, all in an effort to create barriers to stop the forward march of the fire.

Authorities said it will probably take months for fire officials to determine the cause of the Thomas fire.

Firefighters took advantage of light winds in Santa Barbara County late Sunday, mounting an aggressive attack directly on the massive Thomas fire's western face a day after powerful gusts pushed flames toward homes along the coast.

Crews were in place to protect homes should a wind shift send the wildfire toward neighborhoods overnight, but authorities said that's unlikely.

"The fire's burning in open country right now, which is away from homes, which is exactly where we want it," said Capt. Rick Crawford, a Cal Fire spokesman. Even so, he said, "We'll always be in the 'ready, set, go' mode."...In advance of the weekend flare-up, firefighters smothered portions of the Santa Barbara County hills with hundreds of thousands of gallons of fire retardant to keep embers from igniting spot fires. Some hillsides were intentionally denuded above Montecito, Summerland and Carpinteria, including in Romero and Toro canyons, to limit the potential damage...."There's a spiritual element," he said. "That's why people decide to live here."

Not all homes were spared. On Sunday, a multimillion-dollar house on Park Hill Lane in the Montecito hills was still burning. From the outside, the Spanish-style structure appeared intact, but the interior was almost completely gutted.

All that remained was smoldering ash....

Using the excuse that the county/state does not want to use taxpayer funds for debris removal and must require homeowners hand over any debris removal funds from their homeowners insurance is highly questionable because the President already approved debris removal funding under the Stafford Act (see https://www.fema.gov/disaster/notices...).

Due to the severity of the destruction, it looks like the county/state may get 100% federal funding for debris removal rather than the normal 75%. IMO, those that sign the ROE are in for a major shock when they try to rebuild.

The ROE requires removal of foundations and up to 6 inches of dirt. People will max out their insurance benefits and be left holding the bag for the amount to rebuild from the foundation up. Once the city revises the building codes, which they are probably in the process of doing now, homeowners will likely sell out to whichever developer offers the most for the property. If homeowners do not use the government removal, they will likely hit a brick wall of red tape when they attempt to rebuild. ...

Kiln fired clay roofing tiles swelling and changing shape. Steel chassis on cars completely stripped out and missing. Engine blocks melted right out of the frames and actually thrown from the vehicle (or vehicle thrown from engine). Insides of electric motors explode apart. Cars flipped over while gas tanks still in tact. Even the kitchen sink gets chewed right through. More than a firenado... maybe sharknado?

Michel Azarian, 41, died Sunday at UC Davis Medical Center from extensive burns he suffered when the Tubbs Fire trapped him outside his home on the outskirts of Santa Rosa.

He is the 44th person to have died as a result of the October wildfires that devastated huge swaths of the North Bay and other Northern California communities....Azarian spent eight years in Austin, designing radio technology and other wireless circuitry....Papanyan said his friend was elated when he got a new job — for Linear Technology — and moved to San Jose in 2014....But he left a community of friends in Texas, including one associated with the Armenian Church of Austin....He moved to Santa Rosa about two years ago, Papanyan said, and took a new job with Keysight Technologies there./...Oct. 8, the night the fires hit Santa Rosa, or if he was outdoors and trapped by the wind-whipped wall of flames that roared across the hills from Calistoga.

Either way, he couldn’t get out, and appears to have tried to take shelter in a small clearing near his home. That’s where he was discovered the next day, with severe burns on more than half his body.

“It’s just amazing that he was able to survive the whole night being surrounded by the firestorm,” Papanyan said.....Below: A sortable list of the 44 people identified as having died as a result of the October fires in Northern California .

The Oakland firestorm of 1991 was a large suburban wildland-urban interface conflagration that occurred on the hillsides of northern Oakland, California, and southeastern Berkeley over the weekend of October 19–20, 1991. The official name of this incident by Cal Fire is the Tunnel fire.[1] However, it is also commonly referred to as Oakland hills firestorm or the East Bay Hills Fire. The fire ultimately killed 25 people and injured 150 others. The 1,520 acres (620 ha) destroyed included 2,843 single-family dwellings and 437 apartment and condominium units. The economic loss has been estimated at $1.5 billion (1991 USD)
